Overly formal type for all to see amid trips abroad (6)
I believe the answer is:
purist
'overly formal type' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'for all to see amid trips abroad' is the wordplay.
'for all to see' becomes 'u' (universal dvd certificate).
'amid' indicates putting letters inside.
'abroad' is an anagram indicator.
'trips' with letters rearranged gives 'prist'.
'u' inserted into 'prist' is 'PURIST'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for purist that I've seen before include "Fastidious person" , "Pedantic type" , "One who insists on precision and correctness" , "Stickler for correctness, especially in language" , "scrupulous" .)
